It’s not difficult to get excited when you’re a young band on the brink of something special and an opportunity falls in your lap to indulge your music and spread the word across the nation.
So you can only imagine the excitement for Brisbane’s latest pop heroes Ball Park Music when they were selected to tour nationally with their roster big brothers Hungry Kids of Hungary and the supporting Big Scary on HKoH’s massive album launch tour – the Escapades Tour.
Ball Park Music has experienced somewhat of a formative year in 2010. Having inked a deal with Mucho-Bravado Artist Management in the year’s infancy, the six-headed pop juggernaut has gone from strength to strength, from finding their feet onstage and developing into one of Brisbane’s hottest live bands to recording a critically-embraced sophomore EP Conquer The Town, Easy As Cake.
The EP’s first single ‘iFly’ (“I f*cking love you, I think you’re pretty”) connected quickly on virtually every level and garnered crazy, unexpected radio-play on triple j and community radio, often coming in at number one most requested on Rosie Beaton’s Super Request, knocking out the globe’s biggest stars. Another track – ‘Western Whirl’ – was nominated for both Best Alternative and The Courier Mail People’s Choice Award at this year’s Q Song Awards, it didn’t win but it did prick the ears of a French milk company who were so enamoured with the song they featured it across their entire Fall campaign.
Get in early to see this astonishing band live on stage – they’re opening all shows as below…
